Default Zaino Chrome wheels, or something else?
I plan on putting Zaino on the inside of the rims to help keep it blingy, but what do you think on the main part of the rim? Zaino still, or something else? I hve 2 different chome polishes right now, thanks, Scott

Does Zaino have their own wheel specific wax? Or are you using the Z2-5?

Hey what's up. I am a big user of Zaino but for my chromes I use MOTHERS CHROME POLISH. It's like $6 at any local auto store. Wheels come out amazing.

good info, and seriously, the chrome is so bad @ss already, I dont' know if zaino will help too much. I will put a few coats on the inside with the hopes that it'll help get them clean when I hose them off.

I would have to whole hartedly agree, "amazingly GLOWING" is more like it, don't get me wrong, ZAINO is all I use, but MOTHERS is the **** for Chrome!....

The Zaino will definitely make them glow AND it makes them SO much easier to keep clean.

Neverdull by Eagle One works great. Its petroleum based. Takes off all the stains / grime. It really gets off all the junk easily. Then you just rub it off after its dried and it leaves a really nice shine.

I add coat of wax/polymer for easier cleaning and a little extra protection.

1BadMoFo - Nice rims.

Teflon does nothing for car waxes/polishes. It was first introduced around 15 years ago and died a very quick death. It will again.
